Dietary Iron Intake and Obesity-related Diseases.
Review in Current diabetes reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewTo assess the current literature on iron intake in relation to obesity and its comorbidities. Specifically, to evaluate the potential mechanisms and the strength of the evidence linking heme iron intake to these conditions, highlight methodological challenges in assessing iron intake, and identify gaps that warrant further investigation. RECENT
findingsStudies were mostly prospective cohorts. Across studies, total, heme and non-heme iron intakes were associated with both increased and decreased risk in relation to outcomes, which may be due to differences in the population being investigated and methods used to estimate the heme iron content of foods. The evidence concerning total, heme and non-heme dietary iron is inconclusive when evaluating its associations with obesity and comorbidities. Well-designed clinical trials are needed to better inform nutrition guidelines. Additionally, quantification of total, heme and non-heme iron in foods is essential to improve dietary assessments and strengthen research on their potential impact on health.
